Stimuli-responsive molecular brushes
TLDR
In this paper, the authors review the general aspects of molecular brushes and polymeric responsive systems and highlight the rational approaches to induce stimuli-responsiveness in molecular brush systems, which are unique for molecular brushes since these conformational changes can be restricted to a single molecule.About:

Dagmar R. D'hooge,Dagmar R. D'hooge,Dominik Konkolewicz,Marie-Françoise Reyniers,Guy B. Marin,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used kinetic modeling to better understand and optimize initiators for continuous activator regeneration atom-transfer radical polymerization (ICAR ATRP) and adjusted the polymerization conditions as a function of the ATRP catalyst reactivity for two monomers, methyl methacrylate and styrene.

John Chiefari,Y. K. Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.

Environment-sensitive hydrogels for drug delivery
Yong Qiu,Kinam Park +1 more
TL;DR: Development of environmentally sensitive hydrogels with a wide array of desirable properties can be made is a formidable challenge, however, if the achievements of the past can be extrapolated into the future, it is highly likely that responsive hydrogelWith such properties can been made.
